This study investigated the comfortable lockset height and the suitable force to open it. The experiment was
designed and carried out with 14 participants. The data were measured by varied experimental tools. The factors that
influence the comfort of lockset height such as the angle and body dimensions were analyzed. The results showed that
the preferred/comfortable lockset height was below shoulder in 60 cm. The differences between male and female on
comfortable force and maximum force were found. The capacity difference between male and male were significant,
but the perception in comfort was almost unanimous. According to Chinese anthropometry data and ergonomics
knowledge, the comfortable lockset height and the comfortable opening force were recommended. © 2018, Springer
